hit THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.
Statements Made by Northerners Re-
Gently In the South as TO
Politics.
Bloody Shirt Talk the Stock in Trade
Of the Average Southern
Politician.

Washington special to Chicago Inter Ocean
Colonel Canady, Sergeant-at-Arm of
the United States Senate was a Con-
federate, but he has been Republican
since the war. He says: There is
more waving of the bloody shirt in the
Confederate circles of the South than
there is among the old soldiers OF the
North or among the politicians of the
North. AS a matter of fact, the rebel
Bloody shirt is the stock in trade of
ninety-nine out of hundred of the
orators of the South to-day. You can
go to country fair and hear an adj
dress, or to college commencement
and hear orations, or to public gather
ings and hear a speech, or attend any
kind of a public occasion where there
is speech making, and You will hear the
lost cause alluded to in some form or
another as thing to be gloritied, re-
membered, and treasured. 1t is the
one thing that the Southern orator
keeps on hand as sort OF stock In
trade, and his appeal is TO the old Con-
federate element to stand together and
make common cause against Northern
politicians and Northern policy of gov
eminent. The very same men in al
most the same breath will denounce
John Sherman as bloody-shirter for
standing up and demanding for every
man, white or black, his rights to vote
free, untrammeled, and unchallenged,
whether he be North, South, East, or
West. The inconsistency of the thing
is getting tiresome, which induces me
to speak where otherwise might hold
my tongue"
Captain Carpenter, of Illinois, who
is engaged in railroad enterprises in
Texas, said the other day: Il have
been tender-mouthed about the South
for four or five years. L thought it
was about time for us to stop what
they called the bloody shirt cry; but
1 heard enough in Texas among the
Southerners there to convince me that
the old spirit of the Confederacy is as
much alive to-day as it was when they
fired on Fort Sumter. They do not
assert that they will fight, because
they have learned a pretty good lesson
about fighting; but they intend to
make their fight just the same and
score their point if they can
without any appeal to arms.
One fellow said to me, at the
hotel at Galveston where 1 was stop
ping, that if President Cleveland would
stand by his order the people of the
South would go up to Washington and
take the flags whether or not there was
opposition from the North. You scratch
genuine Southern man on his ba k
on the subject of secession, and he is
as much a secessionist to-day as if he
had not appealed to the arbitrament OF
war on that question and been whipped.
/ have come home from there thor
oughly determined to wave the bloody
shirt, and denounce Southern methods
until all the secessionist is trounced out
of these fellows in one way or another.
1t is they who fiaunt the bloody shirt
and not the people of the North"

Women in the World.

ONE Of the best counterfeit detectors in
the world is Mrs. Rosenberg, of the Treas
ury Department, Washington.
Miss ELIZABETH GARDNER, an Amer
lean pupil of Bouguereau, took one OF the
medals ut the last French Salon.
Mrs. MARY +. BRYAN, assistant editor of
the Ftrsside Companion, is a Florida
woman, with salary of $1,000 year.
Mrs. HENRY WooD was buried in High
gate Cemetery, Just ont of London, and
near the graves OF George Eliot and Parepa
Rosa.
MARY LYON fifty years ago founded
Mount Holyoke Seminary. II was the first
attempt to combine domestic duties and
high intellectual pursuits.
ELIZABETH GARRETT, the unmarried
sister OF the President Of the Baltimore
and Ohio, is said to have the neat little
sum of S20,000,000 mt her command, and
this is increasing rapidly every day.
Mrs. MARY ASHLEY TOWNSEND is ed
itor of the new bi-monthly magazine
started in New Orleans under the title,

and well-disciplined soldier of the
ranks, or a sturdy non-commissioned
officer. He is not at all distingue in
appearance, and this appearance does
not belle his history, for he has risen
from the ranks. Away back in the
50's he entered the army as a pri-
vate soldier and has won his way
up. He has frequently of past years
acted as Secretary of War, and even
when not acting in that capacity, it is
the general impression about Washing
ton that he conducts much of the bus
mess of the War Department. In
manner and speech General Drum is
rugged and brusque even to the point
of discourtesy, at times, to persons who
come on important business to the de-
partment; but he is generally believed
to be an honest, straightforward, but
somewhat rather narrow-minded, man.
1t can readily be assumed that he is a
rigid disciplinarian. Ten minutes spent
in his Office any dav during working
hours would demonstrate this, and he
is one of the class of officials who think
that newspapers are unnecessary evils,
and should be shut out from all oppor-
tunity of learning what is going on in
the military circle. The flag disturb
ance was one which, to his mind, need
ed no notoriety whatever through news
paper agency.

sures US that the story Bret Harts tells In
his last novel. "The Cruise Of the Excel
sior," originates in fact. She insists that
in that country some exqnisitely dressed
ladies wear satin slippers on their bare
feet, sans socks.
She asserts il is beautiful fashion;
raves about silky skin, GOODNESS, ETC., and
predicts the introduction of the fashion
among our summer resorters.
Well, we'll not croak. but we await the
result with mental reservations as to de-
velopmentS.
Such style is against nature. Femi-
ninity Graves stockings. We can not ap-
plaud her without them.
We suppose there never was man who
ever had a grain of sentiment in regard to
his old socks; but with women there is Oft
en- halo hanging over them. To be sure,
like an old love, she has no further use for
them, but they are interesting as memen-
tos of peculiar experiences.
A belle in her fourth season will actually
sigh over the dainty white hose worn at her
debut. They recall the fragrance of the
flowers of that happy occasion, mingled
with sense of the emptiness of its en-
braced batteries.
What matron can look unmoved at her
wedding hosiery. She can no more put her
enlarged foot into that small embroidered
web than she can return to maidenly pro-
portions, but she loves the evidence that it
was once fact.
Probably a man has not the slightest idea
of the power with which pretty pair of
shoes appeals to the average woman. They
disdain such vanities, and there may be a
few women who are content with literature,
the higher education, and woman's home
rule, but they are an anomalous growth. A
true womanly woman exults and revels in
delicate hosiery and snug, shiny shoes.
To a certain extent low-cut walking
shoes are adopted. They are certainly
pretty, light in weight, and display fancy
hose to advantage.

No girl can do the light, elastic limp in n

We have all known the girl whose ap-

Navy Officers Deny the Sensational Story
About the Yantic.
WASHINGTON, March 30th - Special
Naval officers are indignant at the publica-
ton of the story regarding the detail of the
Yantic for duty at Aspinwall last winter.
The story, as published states that after
the Yantic had completed the duty for
which she was sent to Aspinwall, she was
compelled to remain there unnecessarily,
although an unhealthy season was immi-
nent; that sickness broke out among both
officers and men but repeated telegraphicre-
quests for orders to sail were not answered
by the Navy Department; that the condi-
ton of affairs wereinexplicable to the YAM
tic people until the arrival of bridal
couple at Aspinwall from the North
solved the problem. The groom
was Mr.. Ward, Superintendent of the
Panama Railroad. His bride had been
unwilling to visit Aspinwall, on account
of the unsettled condition of affairs, until
at reception at Washington, Secretary
Whitney Ito whom she expressed her fears)
promised her that she should have a man
of-war to guard her during her visit The
bride-the story goes-boasted of her guard
of honor, and furnished to the sick ships
company the reason for their detention at
Aspinwall. At last, after weeks of suffer-
ing, the Yantic received permission to 90
to Key West.
The officials at the Naval Department
emphatically deny that there was any delay
in answering the communications of the
Captain of the Yantic. Lieutenant Com
mander Rising, who was the executive
officer of the Yantic at the time referred
to, denounced as scandalous falsehood
the whole story.

FATAL FIRE-DAMP.
Lives Lost by an Explosion In PennsyI-
yania Mine.

SCRANTON (Pa), March 30th.-An explo-
sion of gas occurred in the Van Storch
mine, of the Delaware and Hudson Canal,
this morning. The heading being driven
from the mine that connects with the Dick
son air-shaft, an order was given to secure
better ventilation. Fire boss Lewis, Thos.
Lewis and Edward Owens, miners, entered
the mine and detected gas. The fire boss,
leaving the miners, retraced his steps, GO
ing toward the entrance. On the way he
met the mine foreman, and was explaining
the situation, when an explosion occurred.
The force of the explosion was terrific.
Every door of the fifty were torn from
their fastenings, and sent crashing against
the walls of the mine. The miners, carried
of their feet were hurled into bitches. and
blown against pillars. Fire boss Littleiohn
and miner named James Morgan were
hurled into what known as the "sump," /"
a spot in which water from the level ac-
cumulates. Three doors were also thrown
| into the "sump." Littlejohn's hat was
carried to the top of the shaft, at least 200
feet. An effort was at once made to rescue
Lewis and Owens, the miners who went
into the Van Storch mine with fire boss
Lewis, but the after-damps prevented. This
afternoon their mutilated bodies were
found, and conveyed to their homes

THE AMERICAN PARTY.
Defense of the California Movement

Defense of the California Movement by
New York Journal.
New YORK, March 31st-A. M.-[Special. !
The Commercial Advertiser defends the
American party movement in California
from the charge Of acknowledgment. 1t
says: That was a Native American
party. This is the American party, with
out limiting the adjective that undertook
TO rule out naturalized citizens and to
ostracize large class of Americans because
of the accident of foreign birth. This makes
it appeal equally TO native and ma
turalized citizens, and expressly de-
clares its purpose is TO prevent
no discrimination between classes. The
two things are as radically different, in the
essence, as so-called mugwumpery is diff
ferent from the independence of the
Soclalistic Labor party movement, and it is
highly unjust toiconfound them with each
other. Californians who have wisely Tor
unwisely) undertaken to establish the new
party are not blind to the fact that the
immigration which came to us during the
first three-quarters of century of the Re-
publlc's history was composed of men who
came to America to be Americans, and who,
upon becoming citizens, became as true
and good citizens as any born here. But
they see of late years vast numbers OF imlni-
grants coming from Europe who are of
less desirable type. They see hordes of
arrogant, unteachable, ungovernable men
coming to us, not to accept our free insti-
tutions and work with us for the extension
OF our ideas, but to use the power we give
them for the oyerthrowal of our system
and the substitution of tyranny, in social
istic form, instead of the liberty we love"
